- Christian, the lead singer of Blindside, came out on 'One Step Closer.'

- Due to a lower than expected demand from the LP Underground, the band sold tickets to the public for this show. Worcester, Detroit, St. Louis, Dallas, and Los Angeles night two all had limited tickets for the public available.

- Due to a lower than expected demand from the LP Underground, the band sold tickets to the public for this show. Worcester, Detroit, St. Louis, Dallas, and Los Angeles night two all had limited tickets for the public available.

- At midnight between the two back-to-back Los Angeles shows, Meteora was released.

- Right after the first show, Linkin Park went over to Tower Records and held a signing for over 4,000 fans who had just bought the CD.

- The day before the show, the band issued a release saying, "At present the LINKIN PARK crew has assembled in Reading, PA to complete rehearsals and as the day progresses it is becoming apparent that the members of the band and crew that are still due to arrive are not going to make it to either the rehearsal or to the Rochester show. Rather than risk health and well being of the entourage due to the inclement weather, we've decided to move the show. LINKIN PARK regrets the inconvenience to their fans and looks forward to seeing them on July 22nd. The next show will play as scheduled at The Bryce Jordan Center in State College, PA on April 9th."

- The show was rescheduled in the middle of the Summer Sanitarium Tour on July 22, 2003 at the same venue.

- The afternoon of the show, an announcement was made on the band's website and on the Projekt Revolution website reading, "Regretfully Linkin Park must postpone tonight’s Projekt Revolution show in Evansville, IN due to Chester developing a very bad throat infection. Please be sure to check back here on projektrevolution.com for further updates for the next couple of shows as we will be reevaluating Chester’s condition daily." Chester recovered after this show and the next day, a post on the websites said that the rest of the tour was on.

- A fan who was at the venue said, "Even though this concert was cancelled at the last minute (we were in the parking lot before concert time when we found out), almost everybody in the various bands (except Chester of Linkin Park, who was the reason for the cancellation, being "sick" / later heard hungover) were signing autographs behind a barricade of folding tables outside. I was able to get the autographs of Mike Shinoda & Brad Delson."

- There is an LPTV episode from 2007 that covers Projekt Revolution 2003 and it shows a M&G that was allegedly from this show. We assume that the show and date listed on the LPTV is a mistake and it is really from another show on the tour.

- 'A.06' was confirmed to have been played at this show, randomly. pushmeaway.com stated, "Projekt Revolution 2003 highlights - Xzibit joined Linkin Park onstage for "Nobody's Listening" and even added his own little rap into it. There was also a guy break dancing during the song. Also at about the Tucson, Az show Joe and Brad began trading places - Joe would take over Brad's guitar while Brad went to the turntables. They also played A.06." Astat followed up with the person responsible for this info (later, in 2005) and confirmed it.

- 'Nobody's Listening' was extended and Xzibit rapped a verse from 'My Name' over it. Joe and Brad swapped instruments on the song. In an LPU chat, Chester said this was the first time it had happened.

"Maiplaceo> Joe and Brad switching instruments is HILARIOUS, in Tucson, you

were right above Joe's area, did you guys know ahead of time that they were

going to do that?

No that was not planned- I just gave Joe the guitar and Joe

played it. It was crazy fun (LOL hehe TTFN)"

- If you happen to have or know a full or partial setlist for this show, please let us know!

- Christian, the lead singer of Blindside, sang the ending of 'P5hng Me A*wy' and came out again on 'One Step Closer'.

- 'Nobody's Listening' was extended and Xzibit rapped a verse from 'My Name' over it.

- Between sets, rap artist Supernatural and a DJ named Rocky Rock entertained the crowd with their own brand of turntable styles and rhymes. One of their quotes from the night was "You show that Montana isn't just a bunch of cows."

- Sue DeVries, MetraPark's box office manager, said the show was the first show in about 10 years where the floor was left open for fans to stand, jump, dance and mosh to the music.

Hey what’s up, this is Rob. I’m here in Billings, Montana at the Metra Park Arena. We’re coming close to the end of Projekt Revolution 2003. It has been a great tour so far. Hanging out with all the guys from Blindside, Mudvayne, Xzibit and Guerilla Union has been great. All of the bands and the crew has been super cool. It has been another successful Projekt Revolution tour in that we have continued to blend all styles of music together and expose our audience to acts they haven’t heard of before. During our set, Xzibit has been coming out for “’Nobody’s Listening” which has definitely been a highlight of the show. We’ve hit a lot of smaller markets on this tour that we didn’t get to hit on the first Projekt Revolution and it has been cool meeting those fans for the first time.

Catering has been a real hit and miss so sometimes we’re a bit hungry (and I hear today is one of the miss days). On a positive note, we have played for some of the best audiences on this tour. We’re all really happy with our set design and lights and think that the look of the show is really incredible. Our crew has done an amazing job putting it all together. We’re sorry we couldn’t make it into more markets and continue the tour for a few more months. It feels like we’re just getting started but will definitely continue our headlining dates at a later time.

We’re really looking forward to Summer Sanitarium with Metallica, Limp Bizkit, Deftones, and Mudvayne. Playing right after the Deftones is definitely going to force us to put on the best Linkin Park show possible.

We’re going to be shooting a video for our second single faint when we get home in a couple of days. Video shoots are always super long days but the result makes up for the work that goes into it. We’re looking forward to seeing a lot of you out there. Having you guys out there will make this a special shoot.

- On March 31, 2003, the band's website and the Projekt Revolution website posted, "Due to a scheduling conflict with Linkin Park’s video shoot for their second Meteora single, they had to postpone two of the Projekt Revolution tour dates- ValleyCenter, KS and Council Bluffs, IA. They plan to reschedule both these tour dates this summer- so stay tuned for more information."

- The show was rescheduled in the middle of the Summer Sanitarium Tour on July 29, 2003 at the same venue.

- The show was rescheduled in the middle of the Summer Sanitarium Tour on July 30, 2003 at the same venue.

- This show was originally announced on the band's website and the Projekt Revolution website along with the rest of the tour. However, when it was announced that the two shows before this one were being postponed, this show disappeared without a trace from the tour itinerary. No announcement was made about it being cancelled. The announcement for the two shows before it read, "Due to a scheduling conflict with Linkin Park’s video shoot for their second Meteora single, they had to postpone two of the Projekt Revolution tour dates- ValleyCenter, KS and Council Bluffs, IA. They plan to reschedule both these tour dates this summer- so stay tuned for more information." The music video for 'Faint' was shot on this day, the 30th, in Los Angeles, so we can assume that the shoot is the reason this show was cancelled.

- On June 2, 2003, an announcement on the band's website stated, "Chester Bennington, vocalist for the rock band Linkin Park was admitted to a Los Angeles area hospital last Friday afternoon after an attack of severe back and abdominal pains. Bennington remains hospitalized as doctors are still trying to determine the cause of these ailments. All touring and video shoot plans in Europe have been put on hold this month as we make sure Chester fully recovers. We wish him the best, and will keep everyone posted as to his condition."

- Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, 3 Doors Down and Steve-0 (who was still in jail) all canceled their appearances at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park 2003. Placebo was the official replacement announced on the 4th before the festival. Pinkpop switched its schedule around (after being asked by MLK) to make Placebo be able to play Rock am Ring and Rock im Park so that their gear is there in time.

First of all I'd like to thank everyone from fans & bands to my friends, and the hospital staff who have been very supportive and understanding of my situation. I finally got out of the hospital over the weekend after 9 days, and the doctor instructed me to rest for the next 2 - 3 weeks. Right now it seems like it was some bacteria or virus that spread throughout my intestines and body, putting me in intense pain. It also would not let me eat for a week. My doctors and nurses were amazing, and very helpful during my stay.

We are working on when we will be making up the missed European headline dates, and I am really bummed we had to miss the festivals. I plan on playing our warm up show in Las Vegas on June 27th, and ripping everyone's face off this summer on SUMMER SANITARIUM. I also wanted to say I truly appreciate the tens of thousands of get-well emails I got from fans. Our fans really are the best in the world.

- Evanescence replaced Linkin Park on the bill. Queens Of The Stone Age switched their set time with Evanescence for this to happen.

- The band unfortunately had to cancel their 2008 appearance at the same festival, making it the only festival they have cancelled twice on. In 2008, it was due to Brad being sick.

- In Flames replaced Linkin Park on the bill. They wore self made "LINKIN FLAMES" shirts on stage since they are fans of the band. Xzibit also canceled.

- This was going to be Linkin Park's first show in Sweden, after a Stockholm show in 2001 was canceled. The band's first show in Sweden did not come until May 2007.
